any thoughts on this compared to the "Samaritan" video showcasing the capabilities of the latest unreal engine?
it may not be as gorgeous, but apparently it's all gameplay, and fuck does it make me want to play it. the gameplay commercial has a gorgeous buildup until :40 when the video explodes into badass combat

BORKED
edit: apparently the youtube tag isnt working so i guess just follow the link to the Battlefield 3 commercial on youtube, or search it yourself. my bad, i dont post often

Also, EA appears to be segregating the content by region already with the announcement of the "Physical Warfare Pack" for a couple of UK retailers. 4 extras like AP flechette 12Ga ammo, DAO-12, Chinese LMG, etc. They haven't announced what other regions will get, but one of the devs was twatting about each pack being exclusive to the region you buy it in so no unlocking or buying the content later somehow. This will not go over well unless they're just trying to drum up publicity by stirring up the fans, which doesn't make any sense in actuality.

Why EA took the better part of a month to "clarify" the details about this pack is beyond me, but I sense that they've done a bit of back-pedaling after hearing what the BF community thought of region/retailer specific content. The "Physical Warfare Pack" is now a "timed exclusive" and will be available "at a later date to all owners of BF3" if you don't get it from the pre-order.

Goddamn. I've been playing BF2 lately. Thanks for the reminder to pre-order on Steam!
